Brazil: A Musical Panegyric

Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments


Swimmers and sailors dodging toxic debris...
Body parts washing up on the volleyball beach...
Plague and pestilence...
Government scandals, infrastructure breakdowns, a reeling economy...
And the best music in the world.
It can only mean one thing: The Rio Olympics are finally underway.
We celebrate with three hours of Brazilian music tonight on Transpacific Sound Paradise!

Listener comments!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:04pm maestroso:

The opening theme was awesome!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:04pm Gaylord Fields:

That topical theme song deserves the gold medal! And then three hours of musical Brazil follows!!! I will be in heaven!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:06pm Rob W:

Thanks Gaylord and maestroso, yes, Katie's going for the gold!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:08pm Gaylord Fields:

Katie is the Michael Phelps of theme song vocalists (and a pretty fair swimmer in her own right)!
  6:08pm Natalie:

Brasil!!!!
Avatar 6:08pm slugluv1313:

and Katie will GET the Gold!

Avatar 6:09pm Linda Lee:

Avatar 6:09pm Linda Lee:

howdy slugluv!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:10pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Medalha de ouro para Katie!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

What a happy alchemy of influences is Brazilian Music. :)
Avatar 6:20pm geezerette:

Bowie Bossa Nova, what a gorgeous cover!
Avatar 6:20pm Linda Lee:

Lovely Bowie cover!
Avatar 6:25pm geezerette:

Portuguese is such a beautiful language.
Avatar 6:28pm Linda Lee:

love the Virginia Rodrigues piece deeply. i know i've heard it in another context .. film, televison .. anyone?
Avatar 6:29pm Linda Lee:

it really is a beautiful language. agreed.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:32pm Rob W:

Virginia Rodrigues has some IMDB credits - www.imdb.com... - I don't see that song in particular but maybe someone used it somewhere - and if it hasn't been licensed in a film, someone should!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:33pm Gaylord Fields:

Umbabarauma is a PERFECT song to play for these Olympic games! Joga a bola, Rob!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:35pm coelacanth:

greetings Rob and Paradisians
Avatar 6:36pm geezerette:

Hi Linda Lee; you were so right about avoiding the last night of DNC.
This however... :D
Avatar 6:37pm Linda Lee:

yes! medicine for the soul :-)
Avatar 6:38pm geezerette:

X-actly!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I remember 'Umbabarauma' from - my youth - illustrated by a cartoon about futball (soccer) on a PBS Animation Festival program. Am early intro to 'World Music' - & a good one.
Avatar 6:40pm Linda Lee:

djSheilaB was talking yesterday about the shortage of beauty in our lives collectively ~ & how important it is to experience beautiful music. what makes beautiful music is your own call .. but it's crucial to have it. thinking of her words tonight with TSP!
Avatar 6:41pm Linda Lee:

when there's beauty in the music, it's a full body deal :-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:41pm coelacanth:

i would've said you've been straddling the tropicalia fence for a while now, but what do i know. i'm genre-challenged.
Avatar 6:42pm Linda Lee:

hope you're having a fine night coelacanth!
Avatar 6:45pm geezerette:

Absolutely. Beauty is a necessity for mental,emotional,physical health; and if you have eyes and ears for it, it's there for you everywhere.

Hola coel!
Avatar 6:47pm Linda Lee:

totally true geezerette! ~ i've always felt lucky that i managed to retain those eyes & ears, from childhood (when we all have it). some of us aren't so lucky.
Avatar 6:48pm geezerette:

Yes! I'm grateful every day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:49pm coelacanth:

i hope the same for you, Linda. my day's been good, and tonight should be also. i'm going to see a turkish/baltic band tonight in np. they're friends of mine and they get together about once/year when the one actual turk comes back to visit.
(- if it's not too far for you it may be worth the drive.)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:50pm coelacanth:

olá g!
Avatar 6:50pm Linda Lee:

coel that sounds truly, truly lovely. alas i don't drive at night! i'm nearly blind after dark & it's just a silly idea. but i know the show will be great!
Avatar 6:51pm Linda Lee:

small mercies from the universe, geezerette :-)
Avatar 6:52pm Linda Lee:

anyway why do women singing in portugese always sound so sexy?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:53pm coelacanth:

it's a sexy language!
Avatar 6:53pm Linda Lee:

ah. not just me then :-D
Avatar 7:11pm geezerette:

haha, men sound just as sexy. :)
Avatar 7:12pm geezerette:

Rob this play list could be an LP. The range! :D
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:16pm Rob W:

Thanks geezerette, we're all about range here at WFMU!
Avatar 7:21pm slugluv1313:

ha ha! yes geezerette, sexy/sensual no matter who is speaking!
and yes, BEAUTIFUL soulful music, all of it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:23pm Ike:

Oh, this is Olympics-themed? Got any songs about corruption, fraud, waste, and doping? Ha ha... sigh. :(
Avatar 7:23pm geezerette:

hey slug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Here we go - sounds like Vodoun.
Avatar 7:28pm geezerette:

Oh Ike, just bash through the clutter and concentrate on the athletes. At their level athletics is physical music.
Avatar 7:30pm geezerette:

RevRab, got my rum and cigar. :)
Avatar 7:31pm slugluv1313:

i was thinking more Brasil Fest themed!
Avatar 7:32pm slugluv1313:

Candomblé?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Right - in Brazil.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:34pm Ike:

I care not for athletics, nor for the athletes' "physical music". I just like music-music!
Avatar 7:40pm geezerette:

Can't argue with that! :)
Avatar 7:46pm slugluv1313:

rockin'!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:01pm coelacanth:

i only like music from places that have corruption, waste and selfishness.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...pity coelacanth - I got these amazing tracks from Bhutan...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:05pm maestroso:

Digging this show, can't comment too much 'cause cooking...
  8:07pm IFisher:

I too am cooking, but safe to say I'm blown away by this show. Freaking (sorry!) embarrassment of riches, this is. Thank you big time, Rob W
  8:08pm Carmichael:

Heya Rob and Olympians.
  8:09pm Mr C:

Great show today Rob! A Panegyric indeed....
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:15pm Rob W:

Thanks Mr C!
  8:16pm Mr C:

one nation under a groove...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:16pm coelacanth:

Rabbit, bhutan, being mostly buddhist, i'd expect to be exceptionally peaceful and harmonious but free of corruption? not likely. ...not even the dalai lama, so - who...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Yeah - just goofin'. :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:45pm katie:

Didn't check the comments til now. Thanks Gaylord. fab pic of you and the Mrs. in the midwest.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:57pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Obrigado, Rob! Boa noite!
Avatar 8:59pm geezerette:

Thank You Rob!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:59pm coelacanth:

Thanks Rob! Excellent program!

Rabbit - i'd still like to hear some killer bhutanese track though!

tchau peeps
Avatar 9:00pm slugluv1313:

wonderful show, Rob -- THANK YOU!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:01pm coelacanth:

(ps it was a brasilian woman who got me in the habit of saying "tchau"/"ciao". she said it implies a lack of finality.)
